Creeping priorities (and other creeping things)

It's come to my attention that taking the old Jeep to the knackers has to be boosted from the "one of these years" category to "in the next two weeks", because Reasons.

So... gotta stuff some electrons into the battery. Which means popping the hood. Which means opening the door -

Eek! It's full of spiders!

So hook up the charger (the battery appears to be accepting a charge, ever so slowly), and get some bug spray, 'cause once there's some charge in the battery I'll have to get in the car to start the engine, and I'm not doing that while it's full of live spiders.

Anyway. It'll take a few hours to charge the battery, assuming it doesn't need replacement. Maybe I'll need to get some appropriate transmission fluid, too. And... I'm pretty sure the pink slip is safely ensconced in the records drawer, but I'll need to have it in hand. Perhaps Monday I'll see about making an appointment to retire the old thing and claim the bounty for getting it off the road.
